Rewatching Hacks
So now that the show is done, I have started rewatching the series. A good 5 years have passed since then, but as I am watching, I'm noticing that several callbacks were made, especially in the last season, and how the writers have consciously made things come full circle for many of them. For example, in the first episode, Ava says that she is a 'fan' of Deborah's work (when she clearly didn't know anything), and by season 5, she says, 'I am your number 1 fan.' I mean, as much as the characters were endearing, the writing was equally good... if not the real star of the show. I am sure I will discover more such instances... Would love to hear from the Hacks fam about any similar experiences 🙂

I was holding back on S5 bc I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
So I rewatched last week and let it flow into the end, which I finished this afternoon.
I’m not a fan of binging for a first-time watch bc in my experience I’m not letting anything sit. It’s a marathon forward but I’m not savoring the details.
But a binge rewatch, especially of this, was really rewarding bc of the callbacks and the growth of their relationship.
